looks promising.. tks tchikien.
btw, reading mouser's suggestions, i happen to have some too..
• some kind of help file would be nice, for starters maybe an about box with a brief description.
• add an alternate "teleport" folder.

this is a standard feature on most file managers & explorer replacements, maybe you want to try one, such as the often-praised - Total Commander..

here is one such thread in DC: 12 Windows Explorer Alternatives Compared.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Refresh takes a long time

« Last post by lanux128 on November 15, 2006, 08:11 PM »

if you disable your main toolbar and create just one toolbar with like one button, does it still take so long to load?

-mouser (November 15, 2006, 07:46 PM)

nope, with one item, it's super fast..

anyway, i disabled every folder nodes, then tried again.. this time, the very 1st time is quite slow but subsequently the response time picks up..

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Refresh takes a long time

« Last post by lanux128 on November 15, 2006, 06:58 PM »

mouser, i'd like to post my reply here, if u don't mind..

1) check whether the long delay goes away if you configure the preferences and return to docking bar 2 times in a row.
2) try disabling some of your items, especially those that might refer to FOLDER contents menu, and see if that speeds up displaying the contents.
3) how long does it take to save the file if you just save it from within the preferences.

q1: if i open & close the preferences twice in a row, the response time slightly improves..
q2: i've disabled most of the folder nodes, except for some with very few shortcuts..
q3: it's instantaneous, no lag at all..

sorry to disappoint you, mouser but "Hide Missing Files" option is unchecked..

actually i wanted to hide items that are in removable drives, which should be a case of checking for drive existence instead of individual files.. since LC doesn't do that yet, i've left the option unchecked.

« Last post by lanux128 on November 14, 2006, 09:36 PM »

currently you can't change the icon, unless you're willing to use ResHack and i'm not sure whether mouser would approve of that..

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Shutdown/restart/hibernate etc. ability?

« Last post by lanux128 on November 14, 2006, 07:46 PM »

i use a JScript that shows the ShutDown dialog upon clicking on it, just google it & you'll find a lot of examples.
here's one:

Bringing Up the Shutdown Dialog Box

   1. Create a new txt file somewhere on your system, open it and put in this one line:
      (new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).ShutdownWindows();
   2. Save and Close the file. Change the extension to js and your got it.
   3. You can make a shortcut to that file to make it easy to shut down your system.

i've been catching up with all the discussions in-between. i understand that in no way that the developers can be made responsible for something that is made on their behalf (referring to the 1st poster). even when i wrote my reply, it was to prevent the poster from getting on the wrong foot, thus creating a negative connotation of the software.

in any case, authors are welcome to post their views and explain the inner workings of their software.

cool info, mouser.
btw, this can also be done without TweakUI, by going to 'My Computer' then right-click & selecting the 'Properties'. here we can enable/disable auto-play based on the drive and its contents..

i'm not a big fan of these tools because i can't remember all the cryptic name that i give to the shortcuts when i first create them. for me, farr is a better option.

but here's one such tool that configures the Run dialog shortcuts via GUI: Command Creator.
